Flashbacks
Something awakened a memory from long ago – all of a sudden Better off Dead (Bad Religion, from the album Stranger than Fiction) started playing in my head. Couldn’t resist firing up Spotify to back in time to secondary school. I was all about Bad Religion, Nirvana and stuff back then. Still love the tunes but much of the music I listen to nowadays was just not cool enough for me back then....

Lasse @ Cloetta Center, Linkoping
Trying to recover or at least cushion the withdrawal from last night’s concert with Lars Winnerbäck. Great concert and I had a great time. Never saw him before despite being a fan though to be honest I’m not much of a concert man. Not much of a lyrics lover either but Lasse’s texts are among the few that manages to make it all the way to my brain. :) Thanks for a great night...
